If you’ve been reading my blog for a while you probably know I’m always looking
for quick and easy ways to style my hair.
It is quite a challenge with my curly / wavy hair (curly
on bottom and wavy on top) - it just wants to do it's own thing and be
difficult.
I always see tutorials where someone wraps their hair in little buns or twists the hair, goes to sleep and in the morning their hair has beautiful curls.
It has never worked for my hair. My hair either comes out
during the night or the natural curl comes through anyways and looks
awful.
Well, a few years ago I found something that works for me and I still use this technique today!
Which also means it will pretty much work on any hair
type.
This is my natural look...
Starting with damp hair, I basically put my hair into a twisted crown braid:
I did the twisted crown braid messy in the pictures but it
is a cute style that can also be worn throughout the day.
So if you want the beachy waves for an evening look, you can
easily do errands during the day wearing the crown braid until your hair is dry
and have cute waves at night.
You can also wear this style to bed, it is very comfortable
and only a few strands came out in my hair.
It looks like I used a triple barrel waver on my hair but I
just twisted it and went to sleep, add a little mousse or gel and you are good
for the day!
Here is a full video tutorial on how I
achieved this look:
(I decided to do the tutorial in my bathroom and the fan
is loud on camera, my apologies
Hope you enjoy and thank you for reading!
